Nazgul powers

the witch king :
1)was a sorceror
2)had the black breath
3)an aura of fear
4) if a blade struck him it disentergrated
5) glorfindel foretold that he would not be slain by man.

It seems that all Nazgul had the aura of fear but lesser than the WK.

what about the #4.

and as far as 5 could the others be slain by anyone. meaning I know the WK was a speicial case. But if eomer fought nazgul #6.
could the nazgul be harmed by him?

Also it seems the aura of fear could be reeled in bit when they were dealing with mortal.

But it could be eminated also.

however it seems that those of suffiecent will power could resist it.

aragorn showed no fear when on weather top.

menendil would have fought if his horse didn't run away

faramir a boromir where the last to flee osilgaith (sp?)

But what about Eowyn and merry was it becasue by that time see cared not if she lived or died and merry was just naive in his devotion there was no fear upon him.

She was kown as dernhelm because of her exclaimation when she realized that the rider's headgear was heavy and obscured her sight. 'Dern Helm" Culled from Entmoot From Kirinski 57 and Wayfarer.
